Warwick Rockcase?

kayDUB

Does anyone use a rockcase pedalboard? Thoughts on quality/practicality?
I'm looking to buy something decent, but can't swing 3k for TrailerTrash/PT.

I have one. I don't gig at present, so I can't comment on how it will keep up, but it seems to me like it will cope more than well. It has never let me down when lugging pedals around.

Plus, one I have is big enough for quite a lot of pedals as well as most of the cables and power sources. I think I've even been able to fit my Firebox in as well...

I have one somewhere. It held up fine. Only problem is you can't run your daisy chain under the board. The locking mechanism is sound and it kept my pedals in place rather well.

They are very good cases for the price. I've had one for three years now and no complaints. I now use it as a case for my Trailer Trash board. Before that I made my own board to fit in it which cost me very little and worked just fine. Here's a few pics of what it looked like.

Rockcase is a winner imho...... if you need a case that locks though may be a problem ...the stadard ones done have a lock

Thanks guys! Yeah, I'll probably build some sort of riser inside - yours looks great Rowen!
Then maybe I can finally rewire my board and do a your pedalboard post! ?

I have a rockcase , but without a riser. Rowen's pics has inspired me to build a riser for my case.

I used a rockcase for 2 years and I was more than happy with it. Solid it to a friend of mine and it is still going strong!

Used my rockcase for about 4 years without a problem.
The outside gets a bit ugly and dented but that doesnt bother me... as long as the inside is ok.

For the price, the rockcase is hard to beat. Currently I use a Gator case, dam heavy but I bought it for a steal.

[/quote] Rowen M , did you follow a how to guide to build the riser or did you use some old school wisdom ?

I cant find a step by step guide to build a riser that has power and everything "ready to go" if i can put it like that.

Didn't follow any guide bud. Just took a chance and winged it. Ended up working just fine.

Ended up getting the big rockcase - it's freaking huge! Feel a bit stupid with it but at least I'm ready for the ground control ?
I noticed the board is slightly angled inside and I'm happy with that, so not going to build a riser for now.
Also saw there are screws in the bottom, I assume this is to remove the velcro board? Anyone tried that?
